Actor's Twitter Reveal Possible Lead for Infamous 2

G4 picked up on a story sent in by some tipsters that actor David Sullivan is auditioning for the lead role in the sequel to Sucker Punch's Infamous. The lead character, Cole McGrath, was originally voiced by Jason Cottle, but if Sullivan's Twitter is to be believed, then Cottle's getting bumped out of the gig.

Melting faces, (presumably with electricity) sounds right, and some of Sullivan's cohorts also point to his possible new job with actress Yvette Nicole Brown, who played Moya in the first Infamous, pushing Sullivan to, "Go BOOK it, buddy! :)."

Sony did respond to G4 about the tweet, but with its usual "we've made no announcements" statement.

If you're unfamiliar with David Sullivan's work, his most notable role is in the highly recommended indie sci-fi flick Primer.

Tyler says: A little gruff, but I actually thought the original Cole was fine for the part. In fact, the only character I really didn't like was Moya's. But I do wonder if this may be a case where Sullivan just got his facts wrong? Could it be some lost-in-nerd-translation scenario where Sullivan is auditioning for Cole's replacement, as in a new character to star in Infamous 2? When I finished inFamous, that's what I wanted: some new powers to mess with alongside or against Cole.
